Work Towards The Debian 3.0 Quilt Source Format

Phoronix: Work Towards The Debian 3.0 Quilt Source Format

For quite a while now there has been work towards bettering the Debian source package format, in particular with more effective handling of Debian packaging files, and this resulted in a new source format coming about: 3.0 Quilt...

So not interested in distro-specific and thus proprietary packaging formats. At all.

Wake me up when the Linux community stops being idiotic and decides to promote the Linux platform as a whole with cross-distro formats and, you know, real standards that will become adopted by the major software projects existing today.

If this was a packaging format that could work with both the rpm and apt managers, THEN that'd be something to get excited about.
